Ignition switches on by itself

[_Brian]

I've found my mk1 2 times already with the ignition on and radio playing when it was parked, without key in the ignition and was definatly turned off.
Anyone else has had this problem before?
I'm wondering if it could be the battery feed from my radio giving power to the ignition + wire.

Either that or its haunted lol.

I have no idea really, forgot to remove power from radio this evening when i found it with ignition on.

I just turned ignition on and off and it turned everything back off again

Found it like again this morning. Unplugged radio and ignition didnt turn off, was still on. Only turned off again after moving ignition switch to 1st stand. Anyone knows whats acctually connected to 1st stand on ignition switch?

Found out my ignition switch is faulty.
How do you remove the switch from the barrel?
Remove the flat screw?

I can't remember exactly but it's not very hard to do from memory

I think the switch just has one screw and pulls off. It is in Haynes.
